Inter Milan vs Napoli: Scouting the Enemy (Serpents of Madonnina)

We're joined by Joe Fischetti to prepare for Inter's opening game of 2023.

Residents of Campania have been prohibited from attending the match for safety reasons, so Napoli will also have to cope with the noise of 80,000+ Interisti. In the last 10 league meetings, Napoli have a record of 1 win, 4 draws and 5 losses. At the moment, Napoli’s defense is somewhat of a liability. This has led some to speculate that Mathias Olivera will start, despite returning from the World Cup only a week ahead of the Inter match. They tend to struggle against teams in the bottom half of the table, who park the bus and take away the space. In fact, they have improved the squad, both on and off the pitch. Lazio have a strong starting XI but may lack the squad depth to compete over the course of a 38-game season, while also participating in the Europa League and Coppa Italia – something Napoli fans are all-too-familiar with during Maurizio Sarri’s tenure at the club. A: Luciano Spalletti’s teams have a tendency to burst out of the gates and the fade away. Kvaratskhelia and Kim have replaced two pillars of the squad without a loss in quality. The squad has a youthful exuberance that can only be attributed to the overhaul of players over the summer. Likewise, Juventus have had to manage several injuries throughout the season, while also dealing with the off-the-field distraction of the Prisma investigation. Q: Napoli had an eventful summer transfer window, losing veteran stars like Lorenzo Insigne and Kalidou Koulibaly, but Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Kim Min-jae have come out of nowhere to be Serie A Best XI caliber.

Inter Milan 1-0 Napoli: Edin Dzeko's goal ends Luciano Spalletti's ... (Eurosport.com)

Inter Milan ended Napoli's unbeaten run in Serie A after Edin Dzeko's second half goal gave the home side all three points.

Lukaku crosses in for Dzeko who lays it off on a plate for Darmian who blazes it over. In the first half he should have had an assist after he laid off Matteo Darmian with a chance that Dzeko himself would have buried. He worked hard up front, looking to get on the ball when he could and make a nuisance of himself. Eleven minutes into the second half Inter deservedly took the lead, Dimarco curled in a fantastic cross from the left and Dzeko was on hand to emphatically head it past Alex Meret. If Napoli won tonight, they'd have extended their lead at the top to a healthy eight points, instead it stays at five. It was a complete contrast to their performance in the first half where, despite having the best chances, they didn't press with any real urgency or purpose.
